[AG-TECH] Sending audio/video/desktop from Access Grid PCs to traditional conferencing systems (Tandberg, Polycom)

[Gurcharan S. Khanna]

hi,

that sounds great. i would to be more easily interoperable with H.323 as 
well.
can you tell us what kind of stream is being sent from the Polycom/Tandberg
software? is it an RTP multicast stream in H.264 or what? more details would
be appreciated.

thanks,
